The last Cuban model pass the payroll of the Parisian house for this launch in Havana was Jessica Borroto, filed two days before the exclusive event.

I hope this parade to show the world what you can find on the island and also generate other important meetings of film, fashion, music, education, etc. Chanel put light to Cuba and I think that more will come, “he said excitedly.

Another Cuban figure said and expressed his appreciation was Diana Fuentes, singer who just days ago received a kit costume courtesy of the brand founded by Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel and although it was presumed that the singer would sing at some point in the private party that followed the parade, Diana attended plan special guest to the show.

“ I feel very excited about everything that has happened . I think, actually, that could have included greater representation of designers and stylists in the Cuban selection.

I keep being happy; hopefully be the first of many parades in Cuba “.

Finally, CiberCuba approached Raul Paz, songwriter and local composer who lives in France, who attended the catwalk with curious and somewhat skeptical.

“I was really scared when I told Chanel came to Cuba, I almost took it as a lack of respect because I wondered: what will make a mark so chic and spectacular in a Third World country ? Why hold ?; but after apparently I can only say it has been a privilege.

“Chanel studied our culture, used colors and Cuban elements that demonstrate a strong work to learn from us and traditions. They respected our ways, our movements and music on a catwalk that was all the time exposed to inclement weather. Nothing more to say; I take my hat off to Karl Lagerfeld. “
